Sore Paw

[marcella]

Murphy had been biting and licking at his front paw last night and this morning. It sounded like he was biting his nails Anyway, after several 'NO's' I called him over to have a look. His paw was soaking wet and bleeding!!!! One of the pads is completely raw.
So I sprayed it with Dettol wound spray and I have put a sock over his paw to stop him chewing it any more. But he's not impressed............... he's got a fuschia pink sock on!!! Well, Johns are all too big so the next best thing I could find was one of Emily's!!!!!
Goodness knows what he's done. I don't know if he has grazed it and made it worse or if he has simply chewed it sore.
He's lying at my feet with the most pathetic face he can manage. But at least he's now leaving it alone.

Aww naughty boy Murphy dont chew your feet Pixel sometimes does that, she runs so hard then scrapes her pads on the tarmac and she loves to chew them after it too. I keep stealing Allans socks, you may need to send me over some of emilys

[shirley c]

Just thinking, even emilys isnt small enough, need to steal some child ones from my mums lot for Pixels skinny foot

[marcella]

I know I've got strapping around it to hold it on!!!!
I think that's what he's done, he's skidded and grazed it and as it's been healing it probably got itchy so he had a nibble.

Poor boy. We had to do the same for doogle a while back when he had a sore paw, he wouldn't listen either when we told him not to chew it! I bet he looks nice with his pink sock on!

dora like to chew her wounds so i usually have to put a buster collar on her and she hates it sao much

[marcella]

well, The Murphmeister has not even attempted to remove the sock. But the wee sad face remains He's looking gorgeous with one pink leg!!!!!!
It can't be itching him or I'm sure he'd be trying to get to it. I think he realises he shouldn't have been at it because when I look at him his ears go back and his lifts his leg up in the air!

Murphy feeling sorry for himself!

He's feeling humiliated cos he's wearing a pink sock!! Just wait till he finds out you've shown everyone!!

Poor Murphy He's probably wondering why the Dog's Trust haven't rescued him PINK socks.
And you should see what they've got in Pets at Home. He could have a matching dress.

Hope he recovers soon.

[marcella]

what can I say.............. he saw the photo and the shame was too much!



I just took it off there and it's still looking very raw, he immediately thought about licking it so I covered with a new manly black sock this time!!!!
Looks like my boys are missing the puppy walk tonight Don't want to all go out and leave just Murphy, so Diesel will stay home too.
Hope it's better tomorrow.

Poor Murphy, do you want me to send Sheila round to cheer him up Marcella

[marcella]

I'm sure he could manage it on three legs Margaret ..................!!!!
